[PATCH] ARM: mpu: Ensure that MPU depends on CPU_V7

The support for the MPU is currently implemented only for R-class
(PMSAv7/R). Since the merge of V7M support in to the kernel it is possible
to select MPU support on V7M.

This patch ensures that until MPU support for M-class processors is
implemented, the MPU can only be selected with R-class CPUs

This patch is necessary now that Russell has merged the V7M work in to his
devel-stable branch.

I don't have any immediate plans to implement MPU support for M-class, so this
patch is important to ensure we don't break building of V7M platforms.
